You work closely with nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists to ensure that individuals receive the help and services they need. We work based on IBIC (individual needs in focus) and a salutogenic approach, which means we focus on bringing out the residents' own abilities and looking at the healthy aspects.

You are also a contact person, which means you participate in welcome conversations where you, together with the individual, plan support measures. You are responsible for implementation plans and document in the Treserva system. You continuously participate in our collaboration meetings where both home care and physiotherapy and occupational therapy are involved. Together, you have a dialogue regarding your contact persons.

Your Workplace

Östgötagatan's secure housing is centrally located in Linköping and encompasses the Vasastaden area and nearby addresses. The secure housing is close to the travel center, which makes it easier if you take public transport to work. Parking spaces are also available near the facility.

It is advantageous if you have experience working with cognitive disabilities such as neuropsychiatry or dementia. Experience in palliative care, the IBIC approach, working from a low-arousal response, and knowledge of a salutogenic approach is also advantageous.

You have the ability to use digital tools in your work, and it is advantageous if you have experience documenting in journal systems. For the position, you need to be able to cycle.
